Shimano Cumara Casting RodsHandle Sizes
The new Shimano Cumara Spinning Rod Series is the ultra-performance bass rod series from Shimano. Designed specifically for bottom-bouncing techniques, these rods are surprisingly versatile due to their premium construction. The Cumara features IM-10 graphite blanks which have been tested to be incredibly sensitive yet deceptively powerful. The Cumara definitely holds its own in regards to performance with many other expensive rods. In fact the Cumara was voted 2008 Best Value Rod by Tackle Tour.

The first thing you will notice about the Cumara rods is that they are extremely lightweight. Shimano was able to bring down their total weight by combining lighter EVA Shaped Foam Grips, a split-grip handle, a small foregrip and an extremely minimalist reel seat.

The new custom Split Reel Seat Design on the Cumara Casting Rods allows for greater sensitivity transfer because your hand is in direct contact with the blank, even in a palm position. The sensitivity exhibited in the Cumara is deadly in slow presentation applications, as well as, deep water where sensitivity makes a world of difference. The superior sensitivity ensures you feel even the subtlest taps.

The Cumara also excels in casting light and weightless baits, but is competent at throwing larger lures and can even be used for light flipping and pitching. The Cumara has an unexpected amount of power to move fish and even though it has a high modulus blank it doesn't feel overly stiff. Designed to be a rod for bottom bouncing techniques, it can pull double duty in a pinch as a reaction bait rod. You really can't go wrong with the Shimano Cumara Casting Rod Series – the features, quality and price are all there.

The Cumara Casting Rods match up perfectly (balance and ergonomics) with the Shimano Core Casting Reel. Click here for more information.

Customer feedback on Shimano Cumara Casting Rods

Comments:I have the 6'8" MH Fast action Cumara. Great rod for fishing bottom contact lures and soft plastics. The only complaint I have is that the rod is maybe too stiff. When casting, the tip doesn't load as well as I would like in order really fling lures out there. But in terms of sensitivty and lightness, this rod is great. Especially for short distance pitching.

From:Pete: Minneapolis, MN

Comments:best rod ever! 7'2 MH XF. took it out the first day and caught a nice 7lber. no problem, extremely sensitive.

From:Tommy: Bartlett, TN

Comments:This rod is OUTSTANDING, I used the 7'2 MH XF since very early spring for mostly jigging, tubes,Texas rigging, Carolina Rigging drop shotting and "gobying", I also use this rod(with a modded Core) for light plastic swimbaits, traps and light cranks. This Rod does not let me down. A great product for the money.

From:Gary: Smallmouth Paradise

Comments:Very satisfied with this rod, I bought the 7'2" med hvy ex/fast for swimming jigs,it has a nice fast tip but loads extreamly well. I caught an 8.2lb largehead on its 1st day out, handled her no problem.
